Review on Phanteks PH EC500ATG_DBK01 Full Metal Mid Tower Digital RGB by John Arsov

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks great, works great, but old fan headers still work.

First build so I can't compare it to other picks, but was very easy to assemble for a beginner. Most of the cables were marked, which made the job easier. The kit does not include a rear exhaust fan so I would suggest ordering one of those when ordering your case. The Revain was around $15 for one that fits the front fans. The stands came pre-installed for atx which was good but if you are using a smaller phone it can be difficult to move them around. The 360mm AIO fits perfectly into the space. 3 pin RGB headers and 3 pin fan headers are used if anyone needs to know. 3 pin fan headers will work with 4 pin headers if you have a new cellphone like me it took me a while to figure it out. Comes with an anti-sag bracket and a vertical GPU bracket. As I said, build first so not sure if I should mention anything else but certainly glad I chose this case.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
